I didn't weigh it but it was abit hefty inspire of it all being lightweight stuff, the arkose is abit of a tank in xl which didn't help with the overall weight.
Used everything apart from the pump/repair stuff thankfully. I'd just got the fork bags so wanted to try them out. I could have squished everything down much more and done without them as I've done so in the past with the same kit. I was happy to have them as it just made packing up much easier and let me move stuff around from bag to bag without worrying if it'd all fit in again.
Used my 2p Hubba Hubba which I still would like to replace with a 1p tent just to remove a little bit of the bulk. Did consider taking my pals Elan hooped bivvy but glad I went for the tent in the end.
I'd run the M on the rear or a while now and wanted to try the H on the rear in the hope it would provide a faster rolling tyre. Felt the M on the rear was abit draggy especially when on roadie bits. In reality it just slipped about abit probably as I had too much air in there. I'm sure it'll be a good combo for regular riding to /from the peak District.
